I am Executive Assistant to the Pro Vice-Chancellor Health at the University of Waikato.

Connection is at the heart of how I work, whether that is helping people stay informed, making communication clear, transparent and timely, or ensuring the right people are involved at the right time.

I help things run smoothly by coordinating priorities, supporting meetings, keeping track of actions and making sure important details are not lost. I am organised, practical and approachable, and I take pride in doing the job well and following things through properly.

I enjoy being part of a growing Division, working alongside people who are committed to ambitious goals, including the establishment of New Zealand’s third medical school. It is an exciting environment to work in, and I value the opportunity to contribute to what we are building.
